The Mackinnons - Pornography - Netflix

Pornography (often abbreviated porn) is the portrayal of sexual subject
matter for the exclusive purpose of sexual arousal. Pornography may be
presented in a variety of media, including books, magazines, postcards,
photographs, sculpture, drawing, painting, animation, sound recording,
phone calls, writing, film, video, and video games. The term applies to
the depiction of the act rather than the act itself, and so does not
include live exhibitions like sex shows and striptease. The primary
subjects of present-day pornographic depictions are pornographic models,
who pose for still photographs, and pornographic actors or porn stars,
who perform in pornographic films. If dramatic skills are not involved,
a performer in a porn film may also be called a model. Various groups
within society have considered depictions of a sexual nature immoral,
addictive, and noxious, labeling them pornographic, and attempting to
have them suppressed under obscenity and other laws, with varying
degrees of success. Such works have also often been subject to
censorship and other legal restraints to publication, display, or
possession, leading in many cases to their loss. Such grounds, and even
the definition of pornography, have differed in various historical,
cultural, and national contexts. Social attitudes towards the discussion
and presentation of sexuality have become more tolerant in Western
countries, and legal definitions of obscenity have become more limited,
notably beginning in 1969 with Blue Movie by Andy Warhol, the first
adult erotic film depicting explicit sex to receive wide theatrical
release in the United States, and the subsequent Golden Age of Porn
(1969-1984), leading to an industry for the production and consumption
of pornography in the latter half of the 20th century. The introduction
of home video and the Internet saw a boom in the worldwide porn industry
that generates billions of dollars annually. Commercialized pornography
accounts for over US$2.5 billion in the United States alone, including
the production of various media and associated products and services.
The general porn industry is between $10-$12 billion in the U.S. In 2006
world pornography revenue was 97 billion dollars. Child porn is a $3
billion industry. This industry employs thousands of performers along
with support and production staff. It is also followed by dedicated
industry publications and trade groups as well as the mainstream press,
private organizations (watchdog groups), government agencies, and
political organizations. More recently, sites such as Pornhub, RedTube,
and YouPorn, in addition to much pirated porn posted by individuals,
have served as repositories for home-made or semi-professional
pornography, made available free by its creators (who could be called
exhibitionists). They present a significant challenge to the commercial
pornographic film industry. Irrespective of the legal or social view of
pornography, it has been used in a number of contexts. It is used, for
example, at fertility clinics to stimulate sperm donors. Some couples
use pornography at times for variety and to create a sexual interest or
as part of foreplay. There is also some evidence that pornography can be
used to treat voyeurism.

The Mackinnons - Non-commercial pornography - Netflix

In addition to the porn industry, there is a large amount of
non-commercial pornography. This should be distinguished from commercial
pornography falsely marketed as featuring “amateurs”.
